Groenewegen sprint in GP Monseré naar derde seizoenszege

ROESELARE (ANP) - Dylan Groenewegen heeft zijn tweede zege in drie dagen behaald. Na de winst in de Bredene Koksijde Classic van afgelopen vrijdag was de sprinter van United Rose Rockets ook de snelste in de Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monseré. Groenewegen passeerde met zijn sprint na 202,5 kilometer tussen Torhout en Roeselare de vluchters Simon Dehairs uit België en Kamil Malecki uit Polen.

Het peloton haalde de vluchters, die zaten in een kopgroep van zeven, pas op het laatste rechte eind in Roeselare in. Groenewegen was ook ruim sneller dan de Belgische sprinter Timothy Dupont.

Groenewegen heeft de ploeg van voormalig wielrenner en youtuber Bas Tietema nu de derde zege van dit seizoen bezorgd. Hij won eerder een eendagswedstrijd in Valencia en vrijdag in Koksijde.

"What we found was that errata sheets were not only spaces for corrections but also sites of humor, legal maneuvering and reinterpretation," Rachel Churner, a visual studies scholar at the New School and the exhibition's co-curator, tells Artnet's Min Chen. "With this exhibition, we wanted to share ways in which even small corrections can reshape meaning and authority."

Goran Konjevod Transforms Paper into Elegantly Organic Origami Vessels

Goran Konjevod Transforms Paper into Elegantly Organic Origami Vessels

If it weren’t for being so lightweight and crisp in their facets, Goran Konjevod’s elegant vases could at first glance be mistaken for thin porcelain. Crafted instead from precisely folded paper, the works tap into the relationship between—and associations with—material, form, and function. His meticulous origami compositions combine organic forms with nuanced hues and gradients, creating a sense of visual heft and presence from thin, gauzy material.

Konjevod’s work was recently included in Art of the Fold at ACCI Gallery, and “Grey Curves Vase” and “Artist’s Palette Vase” will be part of an exhibition titled The Craft of Paper: Contemporary Takes on Tradition this August at the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking in Atlanta. See more on Instagram.
